This week, a French language film about the generational effects of becoming a zombie, and the dangers of bargaining with powers you don't understand.  What's more frightening, a supernatural voodoo baron, or colonialism?

This week, is it possible that there was a brilliant feminist horror film, made in the 1960s, by Roman Fucking Polanski?  Is that real?  Even if it's an accident?  What?
CW:  Lots of rape in this here movie.

What if you took a blockbuster movie from the same year, re-made it in a similar fashion with D-list actors and made it a ton more bloody and it actually turned out to be a better movie?  Find out this week with our review of 2019 horror comedy Ready or Not!

Happy Halloween 2!  In our (now) annual tradition of reviewing the Halloween franchise on Halloween, the first sequel!  Does it live up to the original?  Which Halloween movie has the best boobs?

This week, the venerable Vincent Price is a psychedelic serial killer who presaged Saw and Se7en.  

This week an innocent (or not so innocent) vampire romance between two Swedish pre-teens (well, one has been a pre-teen for a long time).  Is that weird?  Not as weird as what actually happens.

So yeah, a spooky ghost story movie about slavery.  It's not fun, but there's lots of interesting stuff to talk about!

This week: Does being a quintessential Halloween movie mean something is truly a horror movie?  Does it matter if you're a kid?  Does it matter at all?  Returning champion guest Ali Keirn helps us figure it out!

Also there was some difficulty with the audio but we did what we could to salvage it.  Apologies for being boomers.

Ever see a movie in a theater and love it sooo much and then see it again many years later and realize it wasn't as great as you thought?  Welcome to this week's ep.
